UN: Myanmar Buddhists Killed More than 40 Muslims

YANGON, Myanmar — Officials say a United Nations investigation indicates more than 40 Muslims were killed when a knife-wielding Buddhist mob attacked a village in western Myanmar last week.

They say scores more are missing and feared dead.

The officials say the details about the massacre were presented in a background briefing Wednesday to U.S. Embassy staff, humanitarian aid workers and others. The officials spoke on condition they not be identified because the results of the probe had not been officially released.
